Wavelet Methods for Studying the Onset of Strong Plasma Turbulence

Ari Le, Vadim Roytershteyn, Homa Karimabadi +3

Wavelet basis functions are a natural tool for analyzing turbulent flows containing localized coherent structures of different spatial scales. Here, wavelets are used to study the…

Inertial Kinetic-Alfvén Turbulence

Vadim Roytershteyn, Stanislav Boldyrev, Gian Luca Delzanno +3

Recent observational and analytical studies suggested that a new regime of kinetic turbulence may exist in plasma environments with low electron beta (Chen and Boldyrev, 2017). Suc…

New closures for more precise modeling of Landau damping in the fluid framework

P. Hunana, G. P. Zank, M. Laurenza +5

Incorporation of kinetic effects such as Landau damping into a fluid framework was pioneered by Hammett and Perkins PRL 1990, by obtaining closures of the fluid hierarchy, where th…

Calculations in the theory of tearing instability

Stanislav Boldyrev, Nuno F. Loureiro

Recent studies have suggested that the tearing instability may play a significant role in magnetic turbulence. In this work, we review the theory of the magnetohydrodynamic tearing…

Turbulence in Magnetized Pair Plasmas

N. F. Loureiro, S. Boldyrev

Alfvénic-type turbulence in strongly magnetized, low-beta pair plasmas is investigated. A coupled set of equations for the evolution of the magnetic and flow potentials are derived…

Influence of tearing instability on magnetohydrodynamic turbulence

Justin Walker, Stanislav Boldyrev, Nuno Loureiro

It has been proposed recently by Loureiro & Boldyrev [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 245101 (2017)] and Mallet et al. [Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 468, 4862 (2017)] that strongly anisotropic…

The roles of fluid compression and shear in electron energization during magnetic reconnection

Xiaocan Li, Fan Guo, Hui Li +1

Particle acceleration in space and astrophysical reconnection sites is an important unsolved problem in studies of magnetic reconnection. Earlier kinetic simulations have identifie…
